Paris Fashion Week’s best street-style looks highlighted many of fall’s top trends. From blouson jackets to dark-rinse jeans, seasonal fashion inspiration was everywhere outside the shows. Bold statement pieces, like animal-print outerwear and colorful knits, were popular. Pants had personality, too—showgoers swapped their traditional jeans and black trousers for pinstripes, cargos, and balloon silhouettes. The jewelry, on the other hand, remained mostly pared back: a mix of silver chain bracelets, gold studs, and small pendant necklaces, which provided the perfect finishing touches to some of the week’s best outfits. Ahead, see all the best street-style looks from Paris Fashion Week, along with ways to shop the key pieces to inspire your own fall outfits.

The Jacket Shape of the Season

Lighter than a bomber, sportier than a barn jacket, the blouson jacket has emerged as one of fall’s key outerwear trends. It features a cinched-in waist and a slightly oversized silhouette that is roomy enough to layer over thick sweaters. Try wearing it with another silhouette we’ve been seeing everywhere: cargo pants. Just balance out the utilitarian feel with a polished set of heels.

The Evolved Basics

Instead of another pair of jeans and a white tee, upgrade your typical casual outfit with small changes that add some edge. Balloon pants have been trending over the past few years, and they’re still going strong in 2026. To bring them into fall, style them with your favorite white T-shirt, then add an oversized leather bomber jacket and black ballet flats. It’s an outfit you can wear out to lunch or gallery-hopping—low-effort but still stylish.

A Little Preppy, a Little Boho

Red continues to emerge as a key color trend this fashion month. Here, it’s layered with a pastel blue button-down, oversized sunglasses, and a coin belt for a look that blends preppy elegance with bohemian flair. The trending indigo jeans keep everything feeling sleek and of-the-moment.

Borrowed from the Boys

The barn jacket continues to reign. In September, J.Crew celebrated 40 years of the style, and it’s quickly become a core part of our fall wardrobes. The leather collar gives this one an edgier look. To keep things interesting, style it with pinstriped trousers (rather than another pair of black pants) and menswear-inspired loafers.

Sleek Animal Print

When you’re getting dressed for fall or winter, sometimes all you need is a really good coat. We’re seeing animal prints everywhere, and if you’re open to embracing the maximalist trend, you can’t do it better than with a full-length printed coat. It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing just a long-sleeved shirt and flared leggings underneath; the outerwear here is the star of the show.
